6 January - Little Christmas in Ireland
Little Christmas, or the Feast of the Epiphany, is observed following the 12 days of Christmastide. In Ireland, the Feast of the Epiphany is known by a distinct name: Little Christmas.
In celebration of the feast of the Epiphany in Ireland, January 6th is marked by Nollaig na mBan or Women's Little Christmas. On this day it is the tradition in Ireland for the women to get together and enjoy their own Christmas, while the men folk stay at home and handle all the chores.
Little Christmas marks the end of a busy Christmas season for the Irish. It's also the last day of the holiday school break for children. The Christmas tree, often a Noble Fir, and other Christmas decorations are taken down on this day. It's thought to bring bad luck to take them down before January 6.
